Cincuenta y Cinco Pinot Noir 2012

- 93 points -

The name of the wine refers to the year the vines were planted (1955, for non Spanish speakers). There’s also 2% Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend, which adds a green pepper undertone. But it’s the quality of the Pinot that shines through, along with the restrained alcohol and refined, herbal flavours. A wine that grows and develops in the glass. Drink: 2014-18
